Haapsalu Lace Center

Haapsalu Lace Center is a place where long-standing handicraft traditions, delicate beauty, and modern creativity meet. Here you can learn more about the world-famous Haapsalu shawls, whose delicate patterns and exquisite yarn tell stories of the resort town's rich cultural heritage.

The tradition of Haapsalu lace knitting began in the 19th century, and its skills and patterns have been passed down from generation to generation. According to legend, a genuine Haapsalu shawl is so delicate that it can be pulled through a ring.

In the museum section of the Lace Center, you can learn about the history of Haapsalu lace, old patterns, and beautiful handicrafts. Attend a workshop where you can also try lace knitting yourself and learn under the guidance of local masters. The center's shop offers Haapsalu shawls, handicrafts, pattern books, and beautiful gifts.

The Haapsalu Lace Center welcomes all who appreciate genuine handicraft, timeless traditions, and beauty woven with a piece of Haapsalu's soul.
